Parents speak out

Some think that statements from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) are overblown. THEY ARE NOT! Perhaps you have been very forturnate in that you haven't had to see a loved one go through the torture and agony of healing, what adjusting to the fact that they will never work again, to be able to do the things they loved or were able to do again; not even looking like the same person when they see themselves in the mirror. This not only affects the person who was injured in the accident, it involves the whole family. We, her parents, are very grateful that our daughter is alive.

What is the solution for stopping the drunk driver -- I truly don't know. There always seems to be a way to bypass any type of legislation or preventive measures. Anything has to be better then doing nothing at all.
